HOW TO BOOK
We require you to register with FAMLY which acts as our parent portal and booking system. All you need to do is to click the link at the top of the page “Register for Holiday Club”, and we’ll set your child or children up with a profile and send you an invite to get the ball rolling. PLEASE NOTE: Our admin person works on Mondays and Tuesdays so it can take at least a week to get the registration set up. If you don’t receive your famly log in details after 10 days of sending the form in, please email admin@outtherekindergartens.co.uk
Once you can access your child's profile page you can click the 'request care’ button which brings up a calendar. Please only book one holiday club at a time. As soon as one holiday club period is finished, we will start taking booking for the following holiday club.
You will also need to fill in the details on your child's profile page so we have their emergency contacts and any other important information you need to pass on. This includes checking the relevant permissions.
For more help and information, please click on the question mark in the top right-hand page of your child's profile page on famly. This brings up the help section. Scroll down to the parent help section and click on communication. This will bring up ‘parent requested booking' and there is a demonstration of how to make a booking.
Once you have requested care we will check availability and approve it.
PAYMENT
You will receive an invoice immediately after your booking has been approved. This invoice must be paid immediately to secure your booking and guarantee your space. Payments are made in accordance with our cancellation policy.
Payment can be made directly through the FAMLY app. When making a payment this way, it automatically clears the balance from your account.
If making payment more than 14 days in advance of the holiday club, you can also pay with vouchers or tax-free childcare credits. Our Ofsted number is EY546746, and the postcode BS4 4DY.
PLEASE NOTE: IF MAKING A PAYMENT 14 DAYS OR LESS BEFORE THE HOLIDAY CLUB START DATE, YOU CAN ONLY PAY DIRECTLY THROUGH FAMLY USING A DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD.

Please use the invoice number as your payment reference and email finance@outtherekindergartens.co.uk to let us know that you have made the payment so that it can be located and allocated to your account on Famly.
